Eden recently began a relationship with newcomer Tim Russell, who was introduced as Abigail’s counsellor just last month. Despite knowing the ethical complications, the two pursued
their romance in secret. However, after facing backlash from Levi, Eden decided they should end things to avoid going behind Abigail’s back. Not wanting to let her go, Tim took matters
into his own hands and met with Abigail, claiming he could no longer be her counsellor due to his full workload. As the situation escalates, Mackenzie warns Levi that Abigail seems withdrawn
and hesitant to find a new counsellor after being unexpectedly dropped by Tim. When Levi approaches Abigail about it, she remains defensive, insisting that therapy doesn’t work for her anyway. Concerned about her well-being, Levi shares his worries with Mackenzie, revealing that Abigail seems to have lost faith in professional help. Mackenzie suggests that Levi tell Abigail the truth about why Tim dropped her as a client, but he hesitates, unsure of how she would react.
Levi’s concerns deepen when he stumbles upon Abigail’s journal discarded in the trash. To his shock, the pages are filled with aggressive scribbles, blacking out her entries. Alarmed, he confronts Abigail, but she lashes out and warns him to stop bringing up Tim—going as far as threatening to leave Summer Bay if he continues.
Believing that Tim is the only one who can get through to Abigail, Levi turns to Eden, asking her to convince Tim to help. But he’s blindsided when Eden claims she and Tim have broken up and that she had no idea he had dropped Abigail as a client. Frustrated, Levi takes matters into his own hands and approaches Tim himself, urging him to talk to Abigail.
Tim ultimately agrees and persuades Abigail to seek help from another counsellor he refers her to. Relieved, Levi is glad to hear she has booked an appointment, hoping it will give her the support she needs.
Meanwhile, Eden prepares for a romantic night with Tim, finally ready to put her past with Cash behind her. Confiding in Kirby, she expresses excitement about moving forward in her love life. While Kirby is supportive, she soon finds herself in a tricky position when Cash asks her about Tim and Eden’s relationship—wanting to know how serious they are and how long they’ve been together.
Unbeknownst to them, Abigail overhears the entire conversation, and fury sets in as she realizes her sister has been dating her former counsellor. Heartbroken and betrayed, she later catches Eden and Tim together, confirming her worst fears. Devastated, Abigail rushes off, unwilling to listen to any explanation. When Eden and Tim try to apologize, she coldly shuts them down, revealing that she already learned the truth—through Cash.
